Product Description

Album Description

With unmatched speed, skill, songwriting and sheer force, Malevolent Creation is the Mike Tyson of death metal, coming up swinging after every knockdown and biting on the ears of anyone too deaf to listen on their own. They've endured censorship, massive lineup changes, infighting, and attacks by religious groups, mass media, government and right wing thugs. Through it all, Malevolent Creation has stood tall and strong and has never compromised one note nor surrendered one inch of ground.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Floridian Death Metal, 9 Jan 2004
By "brasshande" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fine Art of Murder (Audio CD)
Malevolent Creation are one of the finest bands ever to play Death Metal, and their debut The Ten Commandments is widely acknowledged as a classic of the genre. Despite this, they've never really been taken to the hearts of the majority of DM fans to the extent of contemporaries such as Cannibal Corpse or Deicide who are amongst the most popular bands in the genre as a whole. Despite putting out some quite stunning albums, they've never really took their rightful place amongst the Death Metal elite. When you listen to 'The Fine Art Of Murder' this fact seems amazing, because this is one of the best examples of brutal Death Metal ever commited to disc. From the stunning opener 'To Die Is At Hand' onwards, this superb record simply wipes the floor with 99% of its competitors. Having been on the scene since 1991, Malevolent Creation know every trick in the book, and they show it on this record; blastbeats, death growls, hyperspeed riffs, intricate solos, it's all here, not to mention the presence of the track 'Day Of Lamentation', quite possibly the first example of a Death Metal ballad! For the most part though, it's all very fast and technical as you'd expect from a DM band from Florida, and it's one of the best examples for years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Killer line-up, not so killer tunes, 10 Jan 2005
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Fine Art of Murder (Audio CD)
The revolving door line-up of Malevolent Creation has never been better demonstrated than with their 6th album The Fine Art of Murder - released only a year after In Cold Blood, and apart from ever-present guitarist Phil Fasciana it's a completely different line-up (and they even had time to hire and fire a drummer between albums!). The line-up here is in theory the strongest the band has ever had - original vocalist Bret Hoffman (The Ten Commandments / Retribution / Stillborn) is back, 2nd guitarist Rob Barret (Retribution) has also returned after defecting to Cannibal Corpse for a couple of albums, and the incredible Dave Culross (from the Eternal album) has picked up the drumming duties again. Unfortunately however, while the band rip through the material with the professionalism you'd expect, the songs here just aren't good enough to make this one of the bands best albums. There are a few welcome bits of experimentalism (the guitar free verses of the title track; the spoken verses of Fracture, and the full on doom metal of Day of Lamentation), but elsewhere it's standard death metal-by numbers, with the band lacking the vital spark of aggression they normally display. The Fine Art of Murder is certainly a good solid death metal album by anyone's standards, but it does feel a little as though Malevolent Creation are just going through the motions at times here. Decent - but no-where near their best.
